Equipping Teachers, empowering students.
Equipping Teachers, empowering students.
Being a teacher is not a job; it is a holy calling. It is the best (and at times, the hardest) job of all. Every day, you devote yourself to teaching, guiding and mentoring our next generation. If you are an educator, you are my hero! You are America’s First Responder. But while you are hard at work educating your students, who is investing in the emotional, physical and spiritual well-being of our teachers? Educators- my heart’s desire is to love, support, encourage, and inspire you as you answer God’s call to be an amazing influencer in the lives of your students.
What makes my PD days unique and effective? When I was a teacher I hated PD days… sitting all day and listening to a boring presentation drove me crazy! I refuse to waste your teachers’ time. I don’t just talk at your teachers for hours and then leave. I facilitate meaningful conversations among your staff to help them see changes that can be made within your unique school culture. My goal is to provide useful information and best practice strategies so that your team can then make meaningful changes. I make sure we have a lot of fun. I bring games, music, video clips and prizes to create a fun atmosphere and make the learning engaging. My prayer is that, when I leave your campus, your teachers are refreshed, energized, connected, focused and ready to get back to the awesome business of teaching the next generation!
